How would I search a set of stocks (S&P, NYSE, etc.) for the top performers over a specific date range? By "performance" I would start with the ratio of closing prices between the 2 dates (start & end). To complicate, how would I also account for dividend yield?

Thanks! What if I didn't want the last 200 days, but some previous block of dates?

I think you could use "open 150 days ago" "close 20 days ago"

Well, I'm obviously doing something wrong. It's always a learning curve!

I think that's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks! Do you happen to know if "days" are trading days?
